Head Coach
Back with the fifth installment of this years season. Well once again I don't have a VCR so the breakdown #'s will have to wait till next week.
Offense:
Well we didnt take long to get on track this week and we kept it going all game.
QB's: A+
Smith was back to his Heisman like form again. He played a very effecient game and led the team and his leadership is so obvious on the field.
RB's: A+
Pittman - Once again Pitt but up big numbers and had some huge runs. He is quickly making a name for him for postseason awards...
Beanie Wells - Can we say breaking out of the shell. The shell finally did more than crack. He was coming out of that shell. He was hitting the hole and running over people like we all know he is capable of. He is going to be a fun one to watch here.
WR's - A+
Ginn - No tds but he had a number of catches and was just his usual self. I think next week is the week he gets lose on a kick return.
Gonzo - I know Gonzo was good last year, but he has improved so much that I might call him the most improved player on the Offense. The moves he made on his second td were just sick.
Robo - Well it looks like he likes the endzone as he found it again.
Hall - Nice to see him catch a td.
Hartline - That block on Gonzo's td was very nice.
TE/FB: - A-
Nicol - another solid day blocking, and wasnt used as much in the passing game. I think we will see him more this week.
White - solid
OL - Incomplete.
Well once agian I can't really breakdown the o-line without tape, but I do know that they controlled the game up front as Smith was not under any pressure at all. Also the holes for Pittman and Wells were huge. It really looked like Boone and Rehring were just collapsing the left side and allowing Pittman to bust it outside.
Another day at the office for the O. They are just so dynamic that they can do anything. They can pound you on the ground, or spread it out and throw all over the field.
K's:
AP and Trappasso both had solid days again.
Defense:
Like I said I don't have the drive totals and all that today. What I do know is that we forced 4 TO's. We had some bad lapses at times with missed tackles, but overall we made big plays when we had too. The worst part about the game was losing ARus. You have to feel bad for him, and hopes that he has a full recovery.
49 pts in 5 games is outstanding.
DE's - A+
Once again they played strong football. Gholston is also on a fastrack to some postseason awards. The one armed tackle I saw him have on Albert Young was a thing of beauty.
DT's: A+
Once again these guys are in the backfield before the qb is back to set up. They are the ones that are helping force all these TO's with the way they are collapsing the pocket up the middle.
LB's: B
Once again hard to get without film. I do know that they struggled at times and made some big plays. I really don't have anything to say besides Freeman's INT was an awesome play and it is obvious why he is in the Nickel packagae and JL has 4 picks in 4 games. That is awesome.
S's: Incomplete
Well the lose of ARus really hurts. He was coming into his own and becoming a mainstay, but he unfortunatly was injured.
JamO - reminds me so much of Donte Whitner when he got his first pt were he would look lost and then he would make a play. JamO struggled at times, but the light is flickering and about right to stay on full time. I think he has first round potential, but it is just a matter of how fast the light clicks on and stays on.
B. Mitch - I thought he played a good game and was all over the field. He also got that big INT.
CB's: A-
Jenks was his normal self, but ASmith and Washington struggled at times, but that is too be expected with a vetran QB and the inexperience, but overall they were solid.
Good Things:
- We didnt let the atmosphere bother us at all.
- We came, We saw, We kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!
- The O-line, they controlled the game.
- Pittman, Wells
- The pressure from the d-line.
- 4 TO's!!!!!!!!
Negatives:
- The D at times game up too many big plays.
- Still not seeing the LB play...But it is coming...
- No tape
Overall we played a great team game, and really beat the shit out of Iowa. I know that if we came out early and put it on them we would be ok and that was what we did. Well next wekk we have BG. I expect somewhat of a letdown early, but BG is just not a very good team. I think we will have no problem putting up 40+ pts in this one and should hold them under 2 td's. I think if we keep playing solid football we are on a fast track to meet and undefeated scUM if the can get by PSU.
